No industry experience.
A hired driver.
An established logistics company.
Goal: at least couple of hundred a month.
***

Couple of hundred a month profit equal one used trailer tire replacement at Loves or TA truck stop or oil change PM service at Speedco/Loves. One tow to a nearby repair shop can cost you $1100. Then fan clutch replacement $2300 plus layover for driver's downtime. Turbo charger on newer trucks $7000. The emission system itself on those used trucks is a ticking bomb and money pit.
The chances of success here are slim to none. Better off to buy a road motel in Sturgis, SD.
The used truck are cheap but that's someting for a seasoned owner operator or a fleet owner to contemplate.
